QT is DFSG free, but it is not GPL. The QT license and GPL are not compatible, but the KDE people have mixed GPL and QT licensed code. It is illegal to redistribute this mixed code, and Debian will not do it. The KDE guys shouldn't either, but they don't seem to care. -- Eric Gillespie, Jr. <*> [EMAIL PROTECTED] All hail the Dollar, King of the Earth.
